im using a EC21-EUX and want to read the MSISDN(s) of the inserted SIM.
What i found out on my own is, that im supposed to first set the phonebook storage:
AT+CPBS=“ON”
Then i should be able to get the MSISDN with
AT+CNUM
or
AT+CPBR=<start_index>,<end_index>
My problem is already in the first command. AT+CPBS=“ON” returns ERROR and AT+CPBS=? returns +CPBS: (“SM”,“DC”,“MC”,“ME”,“RC”,“EN”). It seems like there is no storage “ON”. AT+CNUM returns just OK without any MSISDN.
The AT-Commands Manual (EC25&EC21_AT_Commands_Manual_V1.3/2018-09-20) states in 8.4 that there should be an option “ON”. Am i missing something here? Im aware that not every SIM has its MSISDN in the phonebook, but the storage itself should be there, right? Are there other options i could try to get the MSISDN?
Thanks for every hint you can give
In case software revision has something to do with this, here is the output of ATI

Hello there
AT+CPBS=? return do not contain “ON”, so you can write the phone number via AT+CPBS=“SM”, you can reference the steps follow:
AT+CPBS=“SM” // chose storage
AT+CPBW=1,“phone number” // write phone number
AT+CPBR=1 // read phone number
I am aware that i can use different SIM storage to save the phonenumber, but since there is a dedicated storage for the own MSISDNs, why cant i use it? Is this a SIM property and my SIM happens to not have that storage or a modem property and its the EC21 thats just not able to access it?
Hello there
EC21-EUX return do not contain “ON”, if you want store in “ON”, you can execute AT$QCPBMPREF=1 then execute AT+CPBS=? will return “ON”, then you can write the phonenumber follow the step i provide you.
After write phonenumber, you can execute AT+CNUM read phonenumber.
It is worth noting that you must execute AT$QCPBMPREF=1(only once) before you execute AT+CNUM after reboot.
